This idiocy, this stupendous, mind-blowing idiocy.
Every person who defends the TSA, every person who excuses or denies this behavior, is responsible for what happened to Geoffrey McGann. And is responsible for every instance of abuse the TSA perpetrates.
If we don't stand up now for our Rights, don't be surprised when the blue-gloved thugs show up at the subway, or Greyhound or the arena or the mall.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50aac74e6bb3f7025200000bSaul BlumenthalMon, 19 Nov 2012 18:57:02 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50aac74e6bb3f7025200000b
>> What if he had made it on the plane and a passenger
>> noticed his "watch". What if panic had ensued?
Then said passenger clearly would have opened the plane door mid-flight, jumped out, and the world would have one fewer coward who's scared of the terrorist lurking under every bed and in every closet.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50aa9843ecad04e119000004phil100Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:36:19 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50aa9843ecad04e119000004
McGann is an idiot! He deserves to be inconvenienced and made an example of. The TSA does go overboard; I don't like that, but this guy set out to tweak them and got what he deserved. I hop ethey fine him and that it a;so costs him a bundle in legal fees. What if he had made it on the plane and a passenger noticed his "watch". What if panic had ensued? Idiot!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50aa8a05ecad04f27d000002Brian EricksonMon, 19 Nov 2012 14:35:33 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50aa8a05ecad04f27d000002
"...teaches us to rethink our airport accessorizing."??!! REALLY?! How about it teaches us why The Fear Factor is a popular TV show. We are suffering an epidemic of fearand allowing the airport terminals to become a place of casual Human Rights violations. The man was arrested for his taste in watches!! To paraphrase: people who are willing to sacrifice their freedom for a little safety, end up with neither.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50aa8721ecad040b77000011my.commentMon, 19 Nov 2012 14:23:13 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50aa8721ecad040b77000011
